Testing charge time, from 15 to 90% in exactly 90 minutes, lets assume the remaining 25% (15+10) takes the same time per percent, then its exactly 2 hours from empty to full. Powersaving ON, Wifi and Mobile Data OFF, not 3G.

I add a little error margin and say it charges from 0 to 100% in 2 hours 5 minutes, slightly more with WIFI enabled, and a lot more with background apps running. I guess that nearly 3 hours can be expected with active wifi connections from running apps.

Juno shah, 15 Jan 2013There is no flash player in my note 2
why?Flash is not factory installed, but you can do install it from the internet, just download the apk file and instakl it, no rooting required.

It found its way to my wife. I learned to root because I had to network unlock it, but then enjoyed some more capabilities. From there, the One Power Guard had increased the Note 1's battery stamina by 30% as it lowered some of the background processes and I freeze apps I don't often use with Titanium Pro.

Applying this to the Note 2 has resulted to DOUBLING the original GSM Arena battery capacity review of almost 9 hours to about 15 hours of net surfing on 3G! Such a big surprise for me that I'm reconsidering not getting the Mugen 6000 mAh+ battery extension to retain the thin profile.

I'm still canvassing for the extra original battery and charger kit. In fact, I'm getting a new set of accessories as the ones for the Note 1 (5 pin) will not work for the Note 2 (9 pin).

Yeah, the whole bussiness of totally draining the power does help as you maintain the number of battery cycles to a minimum. I advise you get the extra battery kit so you won't be frustrated when you need to use the device. Charge from the charger as much as possible, and when you do charge on your phone, it is advised to actually turn it off. To avoid overcharging, I got a power socket timer to cut off for a number of hours. One Power Guard alerts you if your Note is on while charging when its full.
